Greetings! Let me introduce myself....I am a middle-aged (whatever that means now!),mother of 5 and married to a wonderful man. I love to write and sing about the wonderful things that God has done and is doing for us, His children. I also enjoy writing worship songs to aid in bringing others into a deeper relationship with Jesus. I hope you like these songs as well.

Story behind the song

My sister, Gail, has a daughter, Laura, getting married in June.  Since I can't be there for it I wanted to write a song for her.  My husband helped me with the verses and I sat down to write the music and I had NOTHING.  Normally it is easy for me but this time it wasn't.  I went to bed that night and prayed that God would help me.  The next morning as soon as I sat down at the piano it was there.  Praise God....He is awesome!
